Kenny Lewis & One Voice is gearing up for the release of the group’s fifth album, Refocus. Available for pre-sale now, the album features the lead single “Love Song”, which continues to grow at Gospel radio. A captivating performance video for “Love Song” can be viewed now on the group’s YouTube Channel
“Love Song” was written and produced by Lewis. “The song is a really simple message to God. Love is a simple concept; it’s important that everyone understands the message,” says Lewis. “You don’t need to be a biblical scholar to understand the simplicity of loving God.”
The 10-track album also features such standout songs as “Bless the Lord”, a driving up-tempo song with a big band feel; a reinterpretation of Percy Bady’s “He’ll Make It Alright”, “Defeated”, which features the powerhouse vocals of Lisa Knowles, and Romans 8:28 featuring the inimitable Zacardi Cortez.
“We need to refocus on the things of God, the things that are important to Him. All attention should be on Him and when it is, He will lead us in the right direction,” Lewis says of the album’s theme. Lewis is committed to this vision and wants his music to invigorate the body of Christ to think, feel and do more with their faith.
Hailing from the birthplace of Gospel music, Chicago, IL, Kenny Lewis was a featured vocalist on songs by Mark Hubbard and Ricky Dillard before starting One Voice. “When people hear us sing, my prayer is that they not just hear soprano, alto, and tenor, but that they hear one voice, the voice of the Lord,” Lewis says of the group. The ensemble is a Stellar Award nominee in the Contemporary Choir category.
Kenny Lewis is minister of music at St. John’s Baptist Church in Chicago.
